The St. Louis Blues have shipped out Saku Koivu and Shane Prince (61st overall pick in 2011 draft), along with $5.1mm of cap for Mark McNeill (18th overall pick)

Both sides felt Koivu was worth a later 1st pick, and with McNeill being 18th overall, we felt adding Prince to the deal evened things out.

The Kings are looking like a solid team this year and this will hopefully help them out even more.

For us, this clears out an additional $2.4mm of cap space and adds to a growing list of 1st round prospects in our ECHL.

Thanks BJ for the negotiations, they're always fun.
